Bleed by Laurie Faria Stolarz

Sorry, didn't like this one. I've read the Blue is for...series, and while it was a bit juvenile in content, there was something compelling about the series that kept me reading. While I did finish Bleed, I don't know why I did. I tried to like it, but all the juvenile content was there without that extra incentive to keep reading. Each chapter is about a different character, but all the stories overlap in some way. All the characters are somewhat flawed, but the flaws don't make every one sympathetic. I found most of the characters hard to like and even failed to appreciate the obvious humor in one chapter. It's too full of teenage drama, backstabbing and angst for anyone who appreciates the YA genre for the quality of the story.

About Me

I am a stay at home mother who loves to read. I enjoy reviewing what I have read and sharing my thoughts with others. One day, I hope to find the guts to write something of my own. But, for now, I'll just enjoy what others have to offer
